27/4/07: Gauging Interest

Honestly, we don’t know if there is a desire out there for Slow Fire. So, over the coming weeks, we’re going to be talking about it, telling people about it, and seeing if they’re interested.

We believe that you should be interested: this is how many other industries drive creativity and foster change. And there will be beer. And quite possibly pizza.

But we might be wrong.

If you’re interested, please join the mailing list. If you’re not, or you can’t attend, but you know someone who is or can, please tell them about us. Even if you’re not in London, but the idea interests you, stay in touch. We may need you later.

In a few weeks time, we’ll see what the response has been like, and start thinking about the first meeting.

Please leave a comment if you have something to say, if you think we’ve got something wrong, or if you’ve got a question. We look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers, and hope to meet you soon.

As an american writer/journalist/student I am pleased to find such a forum heralding what would seem to be the impending doom of tangible literature.

Somewhere in between reaching college level poverty and losing my subscription to WIRED magazine I let my guard down.

I took it upon myself to base my semester-long project on the “future of literature”, and consequently have come to grips with reality. “E-paper,” I said to myself, “Bologna!”

If it is of interest to you I can share the article I produce by the end of May. Being an American, of course, I am as interested in pie graphs as I am in actual pie so I am off to find a statistically based source.

Best reguards,
Morgan C. Reynolds
